          (iii) If any Restricted Securities become eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any similar rule or rules then in force), the Company shall, upon the request of the holder of such Restricted Securities, remove the legend set forth in Section 12(a)(iv) from the certificates representing such Restricted Securities.

If Contributor is more than one person, the obligations of Contributor hereunder shall be joint and several and the agreements, representations, warranties and acknowledgments herein contained shall be deemed to be made by and be binding upon each such person and his, her or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and assigns.
     (c) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any provision in any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
